    I think that might be it man. All you got to do now is figure out if you need some paint. Your bulbs are the same ones that will work with the projectors coming in right? Who makes the bulbs and ballasts?

    people are usually always down to make $100 cash in a day... I can talk to some of my military friends as well if we cant get 4 guys (3 other than @FlyFishVA ) to help knock this out.

    I don't know who makes them. Got them from @Darkgoatracer by way of @fatfurious2. I will take pictures at lunch. I think it was innovite or something? Are they reputable? I do have the color matched paint, but is that going to stand up to the heat of the lights?

    Hell yes! Who's coming with me?! C'mon fellas.

    Same goes for me. Let me know. I always need a constructive break from studying.

    That gave me a good enough idea but I wouldn't mind getting a better look at the setup if it's not too much of a pain.

    Nah just projectors and paint. That other stuff starts to get kinda complicated (for me at least). Projectors and HID, from my understanding, are pretty basic. I am going to have to take apart the headlights for the painting anyways though. Hmmmm

    Sounds good man, I would def check the compatibility of the bulbs though. I think the projectors require an H1 bulb right? Did the HIDs originally fit in an H4 housing? If so, then the HIDs wont be compatible. I think paint wise you should be fine, I would be surprised if they had any issue. From what I understand on those HID kits, they seem like your standard Chinese HID kit. I could be wrong though as I have no experience with them in particular.

    You got stuff you got to move too fish?

    Yeh they fit in an H4 housing, but I have some H1 bulbs on the way too. Was mainly going to use this kit for the ballasts. Will I need to get new ballasts and all that for H1 bulbs? Dammit this shit gets confusing.

    I will look when I go out at lunch. In all honesty i don't know what I have. I am new to this and just feeling it all out.

    Depends on how the kits are connector wise. I would think the ballasts could handle a different bulb just fine. It just depends on how the hardware of the ballasts themselves from a wiring perspective are. Im sure you will be able to confirm in seconds once the bulbs come in. Could you snap a pic of what the h4 bulbs look like from a connector perspective?

    Cool man, as far as the H1s are they morimotos? If so, they might have a similar connector.

    I believe they are. Seller said "they are early mini H1 bulbs from the retrofit source."

    I will do a thorough inventory at lunch and I will let you know EXACTLY all of what I have, and what I have ordered. The order hasn't shipped yet, so I can change it if need be.

    Either way man we should be good I think. This is a good example of why I like the morimoto kit though, if something breaks or isn't compatible then you can just swap it as everything they make is individualized to build a kit. VS if you need a ballast down the road, you might need to buy the harness and all the other electrical crap at that point minus the bulbs which still isn't that much in retrospect.
